I voted for the Ruger Mk II ect.. have had one with bull/target barrel for several years. Ton of fun to shoot, i've put several thousands of rounds through it with no mechanical issues at all. Just need to clean it once in a great while. Very accurate, did I mention fun.

If I were in the market for another .22 cal handgun I would get the S&W 617 revolver would last a few lifetimes. http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/w...layErrorView_Y

S&W 617 looks like a really hard gun to beat but the price is off the chart which has held me back from getting serious about it.
